Migration

Migration

Sometimes due to over-riding drivers such as cost or out-of-support technology the only viable solution is a complete rewrite or a migration. In fact a rewrite may be the preferred option but often the cost and time is against you. This is where a migration is the best solution as not only can automated tools migrate the application from one platform to another, it can also do it at a fraction of the cost and within a predictable and manageable timeframe.
